After the loss to USC, a scorpion sting on Oregon State’s plane sent the team back to Los Angeles. The team eventually landed in Portland at 11:30 p.m. PT Saturday night (nobody on the Beaver staff or roster was stung by the scorpion).

Sweet feature on new Arizona State baseball coach Tracy Smith provided to us by Jeff Metcalfe. His first weekend in the Tempe dugout was a successful one, as the Sun Devils took two of three from Oklahoma State.
